Today we all decided to go help out younger kids; the funny thing is we all really decided to go back to the same place again. We had to do an activity yesterday; we all got $8 and went to find some homeless people on the street. We searched and searched all around downtown for people, but there was no luck. So we decided to head back, while we were going back to the vans we met a guy laying on the sidewalk. His name was Morry Owens; I will never forget what he told us that day. “Stay in school, and enjoy the little thing in life.” He was working for NASA, he built rockets. He was one of the people who helped built the rocket on the first trip to the moon. It just hit me how people can lose things so fast and how people don’t take the time to pay attention to people and listen to what they have to say.
“Sir, I will treat you like a gentleman not because you are one, but because I am one.”

I hope tomorrow will be even better, this trip has really impacted my life and that I should enjoy what I can in life.

Dear EJ,
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for your message. It made your Mom cry. I am so glad to hear you all arrived safely. It is very quiet here without you and Capri, but I know you are both learning a lot and having a great experience. It sounds like all of you are having a great experience. We miss you.
Love EJ's Mom
